Faint footprints? Sir John Malcolm’s impact on British historical and political thinking towards Iran
Sir John Malcolm’s Iran-related diplomatic career and publications can be seen as the beginning of Britain’s modern engagement with Iran. This article examines to what extent Malcolm set the pattern for subsequent warrior-scholars, especially in the nineteenth century. It argues that he played a significant role in British historiography on Iran because of his use of local primary and oral source material and Scottish Enlightenment methods, field…
"A Highly Favoured Country"? Iranian Travellers' Views of Late Hanoverian Britain
For many years, Iranian views of Britain have been unfavourable.

It also compares the Soviet political use of landscape with that by other political systems an…
Themes in official discourses on terrorism in Central Asia
